Brutus Is An Honorable Men

Brutus Is An Honorable Men
By Tom Levenson August 13th, 2012

...........the Village is beginning to recognize the actual evil that lies within the choices the Romney campaign is making here. One swallow does not make a spring and all that—but when, as Dennis notes, ur-Villager Dana Milbank chides Romney for overt racism. Here’s a passage that is, frankly, more blunt than I’d thought I’d see this election season from this particular pen:

What makes Romney’s welfare gambit dispiriting is that, as a member of one of the most persecuted groups in American history, he knows more than most the dangers of fanning bigotry. Yet now he has injected into the campaign what has for decades been a standard device for race-baiting — a suspect move because welfare hadn’t been on the radar screen.


Good on you, Dana! Romney=Race Baiter. Simple, clear, true.
